ITV Schools - How We Used To Live 1902-1926

[TheKash3]

those were the glorious days in school watching this

[DaveyC95]

I remember this series from the late 80s but mainly watching it at home as a nursery age child...Did this get family viewing time?...See I remember watching this with my older siblings and my mother who is a nurse and my dad would have been at work unless it was videotaped... The theme is memorable, and wasn't an actress called Eileen Brennan as the mother and Leslie Schofield as the father in this?...Oh the tragic naivety and waste of WWI with the over by Christmas belief. Good upload.

I thought it was for primary schools.

Thanks for uploading this. I used to love watching this at primary school! I had forgotten about the clock thingy at the beginning. That used to build the excitement for us!

[sharnotshaz]

i loved this. Even if i was off school sick i'd insist on watching it on the settee at home

[neil73]

Admit it! You are dancing around in your chair to the music like you did back in 1985 at the age of 11!

Wasn't there an extended version of the theme tune? Did it have a title? Would love a copy of it!

[retrojaxed2]

[whitester79]

joey boswell from bread was in this too if its the same one im thikni of

[eocarcharia]

Yes, he was the eldest Selby, I think. You can catch a brief glimpse of him in the opening credits if you look carefully. :)

[denisebassey]

i used to get how we used to live at primary school in 1988 and it seemed a lot older than this although the actress from brookside was in it. does anyone know where i could get the full series?

[charleem]

Oh my! do you have many of these full episodes? I'd love a cd/dvd with them on, wouldn't mind paying of course.

[horseylady]

Excellent show-they don't make them like this anymore.

[1981aLaN]

Recommend fans of this programme to look at the wikipedia entry which looks at all the series and characters.

[1981aLaN]

Even though the credits say 1984, i'd have thought this would have gone out the following spring - the interval music is called Round The Clock.
